Originally i would have put this in "name and shame" or "rant", but this has happened twice this month.Both times a white ute, similar driver.
Driving south down west coast hwy(the part that approaches the old "blue house" place), all of a sudden i hear screeching and look behind me to see a cloud of smoke and a white ute heading straight for me.
I was doing 70, so fuck knows how fast he was going.
Anyway i figure he was not paying attention and braked to avoid, so i switch lanes, and the car follows me across except this time accellerating to cut me off.
So i swerve back in my lane, he does the same.. at this point we are approaching the first set of lights before scabs, so i fly back across his lane, up the nearest driveway and start riding along the footpath.
The driver and passenger are frustrated by this and i see a bottle fly out the window towards, he continues down the left hand lane passenger hanging out the window screaming gibberish.
At this point i am figuring what i should do next, so i figure, fuckit im going to chase the bastard down and wait for him to stop at the lights, etc. So i pull off the footpath back onto the road, and line up behind the car (which is now parked at the lights waiting for me). i give about 10 metres clearance, and go to put my sidestand down when all of a sudden he starts reversing.
Sidestand back up, and i get ready to split past him.
He sees this and brakes and accellerates through the lights.
I dont quite make the split past him and decide to try and go back across to the other side and make the right hand turn onto scarborough beach road (4 lanes across).
As i am doing this he sees it, and tries the same (in a fucking ute) and manages to get across 3 lanes before nearly wedging himself between a truck and the car in the right hand turning lane.
Eventually he gives up and heads south down west coast highway.
Im furious and ride into scabs and wait for the prick for about 30 minutes, then ride around to try and find the car.. no luck. and end up back at the bike bays outside plakas...
Now the police are useless when it comes to this kind of shit, because i have no witnesses, and the plates may not be 100%.so i'm not really sure what i should do.
I know this is a rant, but personally i think it deserves its own topic, as this is the second time this car has tried this shit(first time when i had my gf riding pillion).
Both occupants are heavily tanned white males, long curly matted brown hair, and missing teeth.
Car is a late 80s falcon ute, with tradie bars on the back for carrying stuff to be left on the freeway.
